There's no romance in novel
Not sure about about love interest.. But I am definitely worried about his crazy stalker
So far it's very much about getting stronger, revenge, and learning how to care about people and be cared for.
Runaan isn't the only character that Raon helps like this. Burren also has some issues and so do Martha and Dorian. It's more about Raon learning to be close with people and rely on the as well as being relied on since he was so indoctrinated in his first life.
Novel isn't done yet so I can't for sure say there won't be romance, but they're currently in their 20s and there isn't any yet, nor is Raon interested.
I hope she doesn’t become a love interest :( The scene was fine but I got “this’ll be what kicks off her crush” vibes.. or maybe I’ve just read too many predictable reincarnation stories. Does anyone have novel spoilers? Do they get together? I think she’s great as a friend and a teammate!! but if it becomes a romance I’m dropping this. Please please please let her be a female character without romance, let this be a rare find
